kinross is one of the biggest gold mining companies in the world YET

The introduction is badly written, and mentions it was a merger from a tiny mine. Why in the openning comments provide this tangent about smallness, as since then billions in capital has been inserted into the company?? Undermines investors' feelings.

Much better to list its production details. 2.3 million ounces of produciton and silver production. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prof. Wong (talk • contribs) 16:54, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Prof. Wong you can expand the lead if you want, but but do not remove information that summarizes the article, as that is what the lead is for. Also keep in mind that the article must be referenced with third party reliable sources. Wikipedia does not care about the investor's feelings, this is an encyclopedia, not an investment portfolio. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 16:59, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Yes I am shareholder of K.To. I am here to help remove the negative comments inserted to reduce the value and aid the shorts. A fair presenation is all we seek. Thank for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prof. Wong (talk • contribs) 17:16, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Then perhaps you should read our conflict of interest guideline. Where are the negative comments? There is the history of how it formed, how is that negative? It is of public record. There is no issue with adding how the company stands now, in fact it should be added, however removing sourced information about the company because you do not like it is not acceptable. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 17:19, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Prof. Wong you should add a section for production between the history and operations section, a table showing the growth over the last 5-10 years would work well. It must be sourced with reliable sources however, preferable third party (news/journals), however sometimes that is not available.-kelapstick^(bainuu) 17:23, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. --Prof. Wong (talk) 18:11, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Chuckle. The homepage for kinross history section http://kinross.com/about-kinross/our-history/1993.aspx used the word "consolidation" last week, but it NOW has been reworded with the word "amalgamation" about the combination of three companies to create Kinross -- on their mind too. Wiki uses the word merger. I think it is not a merger technically , because the companies were mostly owned by the same owners/shareholders, making it a consolidation then.

Other issues. Not sure about gold silver ratios as read in annual report that silver production is disclosed as gold production based on a ratio.

Information on changing the word merger to amalgamation as Kinross words it. Nicer tone. Have a good day.--Prof. Wong (talk) 19:14, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

My dear Professor, how nice to see you again. It does not matter how Kinross words it, it is how reliable, independent sources word it. In this case The Deseret News referred to it as a merger, which is where the wording comes from. We discourage writing articles using the corporate website as a source, as naturally, it is going to be somewhat biased. A an encyclopedia we strive to not be biased. As for the reporting, it is difficult, as often these things are reported in equivalent ounces. I would personally leave out their position as a silver producer, as they are a gold company. I would however include production numbers for silver, if I were listing it. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 19:26, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Also, I would appreciate it if you used citation templates for adding references, and not bare URLs, I spent a lot of time making that page presentable a couple years ago, and I have a dislike of messy citations.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 19:29, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

If you are here that people should ask, you need help with anything, just ask. That's what I am here for = can you please tell me how exacly to open one of those discussons with a big yellow template that will make people voting and saying yes or no on a topic? At Talk:West Highland White Terrier, about a picture added. Hafspajen (talk) 22:49, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

You mean Wikipedia:Requests for comment?--kelapstick^(bainuu) 23:19, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Ah, yes. Hafspajen (talk) 23:33, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

How am I doing? At Talk:West Highland White Terrier. Hafspajen (talk) 23:37, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

I believe that you would normally have two sections below, one for a survey, and one for a threaded discussion (there is an example on the link above). Not sure if an RfC is typical for a photo addition, I don't have much experience with them. I am not fussy on the picture, maybe cropping the people out would be better, as the picture is to illustrate the dogs, not the ladies. I may opine on it tomorrow. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 23:42, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

I don't know either how to put in the picture issue, so I did - well, improvised. Yes, I know, the dogs are very small in the picture, aren't they.... But the editor ... I think want to add it as it is. And if we crop it, then we have either way much better pictures than that one. Hafspajen (talk) 23:48, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Well wider discussion is good, so let's go with it. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 23:50, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

I went and added the picture in two other articles instead, where they have a better encyclopedic value, like Dog breeding. Hafspajen (talk) 11:52, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Unrelated pug discussion

Every dog article requires an obligatory pug picture.

Fetched! (Sorry for those French ears...)

Did you know... that my pug:

• Is claustrophobic (to the point of not walking through a door if it is not open enough to get her entire body through)?
• Blind in at least one eye (but can still catch a treat when thrown to her, maybe 75% of the time)?
• Has eppilepsy (and takes phenobarbital for it, so much for my pugs not drugs shirt)?

kelapstick^(bainuu) 23:50, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

1. Really? You should try to desensibilize, start with an open door, and gradually close it more and more. Every time she/he is walking through will get something s/he likes a lot. And start closing it very slowly, start like half inch a time or even less, 1cm -or so.
2. No problem.
3. well, if you have medication... Hafspajen (talk) 23:57, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Fawn, but her father was a black pug, so she is darker than most fawn, especially in the face. She always gets complimented on her perfect double curl tail. --kelapstick^{(on the run)} 01:28, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Notice of Persistant Vandelism

Hi, I noticed that you recorded that [[1]] be protected from any edits derived from me. Earlier last month I added/replaced a source with what I thought was a viable option. Should I not be adding external links? What I am allowed to do as a "beginning/novice" editor of Wikipedia? --QologyDirect (talk) 19:11, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

I protected the page because of vandalism (page blanking, etc.), I am not sure about your edits. If you have interest in soccer/football, you should join the association football WikiProject.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 19:23, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

QologyDirect, aren't you supposed to be using the Csal1 account for editing after your account rename? --kelapstick^(bainuu) 22:32, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi kelapstick, yes, I am but I don't know how. After the change, I tried logging under csal1 but it wasn't working. I assumed since I could still log in with Qologydirect, that my change was made just not reflected/reflecting. How can I make sure my name appears as csal1?... I know this is off topic from the original question, but your assitance with this would be greatly appreciated. QologyDirect (talk) 16:08, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

matches season 2014/2015

i see you have deleted my page "matches season 2014/2015" as you stated it is a duplicate of a page already.....this is not true. NWCFL 2014/2015 covers ONLY league games and shows only the league table and a very brief result grid. My page would have had report links, scorers, a chart of the league positions, and it would have covered all games...preseaaon, league and cups. an example of a similar page can be seen on "2013–14_Leicester_City_F.C._season" which shows exactly the same info as i was going to provide for my team, Glossop, so why is mine deleted and Leicester City's page is not. Please re activate my page as i sent a long time on it and i have had many compliments from fellow Glossop fans saying how useful it would be. brgds Chris — Preceding unsigned comment added by GNEbandit (talk • contribs) 23:53, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

First and foremost, the title does not actually explain what the article is about. Whose matches? Second of all, the page was run afoul of the non-free content criteria, with extensive fair use images (although as a new user, that can be overlooked as repairable, and it is understandable that you would not know that). Third of all, the teams in the leagues that you describe typically do not have individual season articles. Fourth of all, you are now asking why a team in Premier League has a season article, but a team in Level Nine, the North West Counties Football League, doesn't? Fifth of all, you are using Articles for Creation, which is a good idea. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 19:55, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

re 2014–15 Glossop North End A.F.C. season - I have re designed this page, from the previous one and i understand what you are saying, but i believe Glossop North End are very much an exception to the rule. There are multiple pages of many teams from multiple league, and although we are in a lower league at the moment we are a team who has supporters around the world namely Australia, America and across Europe and have one of the highest fan bases of many non-league professional or semi professional teams currently around. There are equal pages like this for lower level Welsh and Scottish teams and yet we have a higher attendance at every game than most games in the two leagues ahead of us in the English pyramid. With no disrespect intended, you are from over the water and possibly don't know how lower level football is followed over in the UK. Grass roots football is the future of football and as such the fan base is growing, as most people cannot afford the prices of league football, and as such the data on this page IS warranted, and just because no other teams at our level have not got a page like this yet just means that GNE would be leading the way. Through feedback from our basic Wikipedia page i know there is a demand for this page to exist drawing all the information from multiple sources to combine on one page. I believe Wiki is meant to be used as a world wide source of information, and this is just for that purpose.....and not just to allow the 'bigger boys teams' to have a strangle hold on the web GNEbandit (talk) 09:21, 15 July 2014 (UTC)brgds Chris GNEbandit (talk • contribs) 09:08, 15 July 2014

Sorry to say so but I disagree your closure of Keep the company clearly fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG .Eexcept Only one user Cirt going through all other keep said the case was notable hence it should be renamed and not the company .A couple of keep specifically said the company was not notable ex TJRC .Even in the previous AFD it was closed without any prejudice against opening another AfD as the company is not notable.
